Before you read further, you can see how this page looks with and without images after being processed by Google Mobilizer. While you're there take a good look at the URL if you want to understand the bookmarklet code that I'm going to talk about next.

This bookmarklet redirects the URL of the currently open web page to the Google Mobilizer web service which processes it to show just the text and optionally images within web pages.

To use the bookmarklet, drag & drop the following link to your Bookmarklet/Favorites bar - Mobilizer

Click on the bookmarklet while you're on a web page whose content you wish to "linearize"/reflow the text of & the bookmarklet will then redirect the URL of the currently open web page to the Google Mobilizer web service which processes it to show just the text without images.

If you need images, change the value of the noimg querystring key from 1 to 0.

Considering these privacy, security & readability issues I faced, I wished there was a way to open all links in a web page with Mobilizer so that I can view a minimalist, text-only version of a web page. I wrote the Google Mobilizer Bookmarklet to scratch this itch.

To use the bookmarklet, drag & drop the following link to your Bookmarklet/Favorites bar - Mobilizer for Twitter

Once you're on a page that has a lot of links (like Twitter), click on the Mobilizer bookmarklet & it will then set a light grey background color to all hyperlinks on that page & prepend the Google Mobilizer URL to them.
